When G-man first posted this way back in September 2012, we didn't have the luxury of an online library to pull up instantly and read a given issue in. But in the years since, we now do, and I finally got around to reading it.

I both did and didn't like it.

On the plus side, it does follow the basic story elements from KAMANDI 29, and develops them in a whimsical early/mid 1960's Silver Age DC sort of way(as Cary Bates and Elliot Maggin were good at re-creating in ACTION and SUPERMAN issues of that 1970's era) rather than a 1970's Kirby way.
Where TECHNICALLY issue 295 follows the KAMANDI 29 storyline, it diverges in a new direction and introduces a lot of playful new Silver Age-type twists, and all is not what it seems. Where a Green Lantern from the future drops in at the end to explain everything, and confesses his own role in the charade

But on the negative side, Kirby's story in KAMANDI 29 is far better told, and with far more striking visuals to carry it along from start to finish. It's really hard to compete with Kirby, especially when it deliberately takes the previous KAMANDI 29 storyline in a completely different direction.

While not credited with being in the same continuity as KAMANDI 29 and SUPERMAN 295, a later 1984 issue has a 4-page Frank Miller story in SUPERMAN 400, and also has several other future Superman stories in that issue, separate stories by Williamson, Kaluta, Rogers/Austin, Pini, Janson, and Steranko, that also play with the future legend of Superman.
But the Miller one most closely follows the costume and ambiguous element of possibly being the actual costume of Superman, or possibly just a stage costume, not that of the real Superman.
